Evameva kho, bhikkhave, cattaaro�me
sama.nabraahma.naana.m upakkilesaa, yehi upakkilesehi

Similarly, monks, there are these four defilements of
Brahmins and recluses, tainted with which, some
Brahmins and recluses do not shine, are not lustrous,
and are dim.

Katame cattaaro?
What are these four?

Santi, bhikkhave, eke sama.nabraahma.naa sura.m
pivanti meraya.m, suraamerayapaanaa appa.tivirataa.
Aya.m, bhikkhave, pa.thamo sama.nabraahma.naana.m
upakkileso, yena upakkilesena upakkili.t.thaa eke
sama.nabraahma.naa na tapanti, na bhaasanti, na
virocanti.
There are, monks, some Brahmins and recluses that
drink wine and liquor, and show no restraint from
drinking wine and liquor. This, monks, is the first
defilement of Brahmins and recluses, tainted with
which, some Brahmins and recluses do not shine, are
not lustrous, and are dim.

Metta,
John
